Summer Food Fun and Bestowed Box Review

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love getting packages in the mail and I just received one of my favorites! The Healthy, Fun Bestowed Box. Check it out.

 

Lots of variety featuring snacks with health and beauty items.

Now Here’s The Goods:

Saffron Road Wasabi Chick Peas. Have not tried them yet, but I will let you know how these are in a future post. I hoarded them right into my travel bag for an upcoming camping trip I have in mid August. Darn they look so good, so hard to resist.

 Kelapo Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. I loves these little packages. I am very familiar with this brand and I love it.

 

Runa Cinnamon-Lemongrass Tea. Cannot wait to try these. I do love me some cinnamon.

 

 

EnergyFruits Crushed Fruit Mango Squeeze. I tossed it in my lunch bag and sucked it dry with in seconds. My word it was taste.

Zevia Ginger Ale….oh how I love thee. Amazing flavor. I am a long time lover of Ginger Ale and it hit the spot. So refreshing.

 

Aquatowel. I love these, they stay hydrated forever and are perfect for a car trip or a long flight.

 

Zing, Double Nut Brownie. I fell in love with the first bite. So darn rich and satisfying.

Happy Summer

Hey how the heck is your summer going? Here are  a few of my favorite pics and eats from my part of the world. Michigan is alive and well after a terrible winter and here is some proof.

Blooms. Lots and Lots of Blooms.

 

 Burgers.

 Cocktails.

 Drinks and more drinks.

 

Eating out.

 

 

Grilling. 

 

  Making my own freezer treats. Link to a previous frozen treats posts here, and here. 

 

Freezer Eats.

 

  My favorites within reach.

Trying new things. 

Nesting box occupied.

 

Lots of babies.

Lots of Hummingbirds feeding.

Deer across the lake getting a drink. (can you see her baby bump?)

Kinda hard to see but two week later she showed back up with her fawn. What a joy it was to watch them drink and wade in the water. 

Drank champagne because I can, and so should you, every day is a celebration!

Watched a snapping turtle lay her eggs. It was in my neighbors yard and I didn’t want to disturb her so I took this from my balcony.  So cool. 

Hiked with my husband while he was on a 3D Archery shoot. Darn mosquitoes. Good thing I was armed with my own homemade mosquito spray. 

Here is the link to my recipe if you would ever like to Make your Own!

Made tons of wrap sandwiches. 

Had more cocktails. What can I say I enjoy a few drinks.

Had desserts. 

 

Enjoyed avocado egg salad sandwiches and Michigan salads. Link attached for my recipe. 

I can finally say I got my frozen yogurt bar fix and will never do that again. $14.00 for 2 bowls. Ouch. 

It was amazing none the less. You only live once, right?

 

My kids.

Ginger and Stuart say “hello”

Have Fun, be Kind, Live and Love.
